Class Rating is the speed at which each character ranks up an individual class, so the lower their Class Rating, the slower it takes for them to rank up the class.
After completing the main story, return to Castle, 1st Floor in the Keves Castle Region and head north for a quest related event. Melia will join your party and unlock the Royal Summoner class.
How to Recruit Melia and Hero Rating

Noah | Taion |
Noah benefits from greatly from channging to a Royal Summoner, due to his initial class being an Attacker type as well as being the Class Inheritor. Although Taion's intial class type is Healer, this allows him to use the royal Summoner's Ether-based attacks to great effect.
Art | Attack Type | AoE | Base Effect |
---|---|---|---|
Starfall | Ether Attack | One Target | None |
Elemental Discharge | Ether Attack | One Target | Boosts elemental damage by 50%. |
Summon Element | Ether Attack | AOE around User | None |
Using Summon Element and Elemental Discharge in tandem will be the main means for dealing damage with the Royal Summoner, increasing your overall attack as the battle progresses by summoning and discharging Elements. The high damage output from Starfall is further enhanced by its ability to Topple enemies.
Art | Base Effect | Class Rank |
---|---|---|
Overfall | Ether Def. Down |
Rank 10 |
Maximum Voltage | Unblockable / Atk. Up |
Rank 10 |
Glitter Stream | Side Break |
Rank 10 |
Glitter Stream adds Break to the list of debuffs that a Royal summoner can inflict, while Maximum Voltage makes it harder for enemies to avoid taking high damage. As many of the Royal Summoner's Arts are Ether-based, lowering the Ether Defense of enemies with Overfall is very helpful to have.
Element Genesis is the best Talent Art for the class and we do not recommend replacing it with a different Talent Art. |
Skill | Effect | Class Rank |
---|---|---|
Cypher Edge | Boosts Critical Rate by 10%. |
Rank 5 |
Ethereal Ability | Boosts damage dealt by ether Arts by 30%. |
Rank 5 |
Now That's Tactics! | At start of Chain Attack, increase TP by 5. |
Rank 5 |
Ethereal Ability is particularly useful due to the Royal Summoner having mostly Ether-type attacks. Since Royal Summoners have decent Critical Rate, increasing it further with Cypher Edge can increase their damage output.
Now That's Tactics! makes them more effective during Chain Attacks, and increases the boost they receive when attacking first in a chain.
Skill | Effect | Class Rank |
---|---|---|
Covert Attack | Reduces aggro generated from attacks by 20%. |
Rank 15 |
Dynamite Spirit | Boosts damage dealt by 20% when HP is at 90% or higher. |
Rank 15 |
Once you have access to a few Rank 15 Master Arts, it is best to replace some of those above with Covert Attack and Dynamite Spirit to reduce aggro and boost your damage.
Master Arts are charged before battle | Reduced aggro when auto-atacking | Increased Attack |
---|---|---|
Wind Bracelet | Gold Necklace | Silver Belt |
Since a Royal Summoner's effectiveness requires time, equipping items that allow you to use your Master Arts as soon as possible is very helpful. Aggro reduction from auto-attacks allows you to summon and discharge Elements without pressure from enemies.
Redcued aggro when using Arts | Increases Dexterity | Increases Attack |
---|---|---|
Disperse Bloodlust | Accurate Grace | Steelcleaver |
Reducing aggro when using arts is important for staying healthy when using Arts, while increased Dexterity and Attack will make their attacks more powerful and accurate.
